AN: Previously;"So Dad.. what do you think?" I asked waddling back into the lounge room. Dad turned of the TV as I sat down in the sofa across from him.Enjoy!! A special mention to Beliles for the ideas and feed back. Couldn't do it w/o you.


Charlie looked uncomfortable in the situation. I had never had a boyfriend before, so he had never had to 'review' anyone I brought home before. I think to an extent he knew that even if he said that he hated Edward, it wouldn't stop me.

"Bella, you really like this boy?" he asked with an uncomfortable expression.

"Yea dad. I do…"

"Well, he's very polite, very gentlemanly. He seems to be very respectful."

"He is Dad. You've met the Doctor haven't you. Well this is his son." I tried to talk him up more.

"Yes. Bella, listen you don't have to talk him up honey. I like him too." He assured me. "Really? So you approve?" I don't know why I was so excited. It really shouldn't matter- but it did. He smiled. "Yes honey, I approve. He seems pretty crazy about you hun." I blushed and gave my dad a big hug.

"Thanks Dad."

"But Bella, I think we should maybe discuss boys and relationships and stuff now. I mean you're old enough to handle this discussion now." His voice became uncomfortable again and it clicked.

"Dad no! come on! Look Dad I'll save you the trouble ok? Mom already covered the 'sex' talk 3 years ago ok?" my cheeks turned bright red and I suddenly understood the cheeky smirk on Edward's face before he left.

"Bella, I know your mother has already discussed this before but you weren't involved with anyone at that time, and now that you are, I feel it my duty to go over it again. There are certain things you need to consider Bella.. maybe some tests you both should take. Dr. Cullen could do it- so you're not too embarrassed."

"Oh MY god Dad! We don't need any tests! Dad I know all of this. I don't need any revision ok. Dad look we're only 17 and we're just taking this slow ok? You don't have to worry about that. Ok?" I really did not want to be having this conversation with my father especially not now! I just wanted to get away! Dad took a big sigh of relief.

"That's all I needed to hear. But Bella, just remember, safe…"

"Dad I get it!"

"Ok good. Sorry to embarrass you honey." He sighed again.

"Yea, ok Dad…Well I should get some sleep…it's been a long day"

"Ok. Good night Bellz. Sleep tight."

"Good night. Love you Dad."

"Love you too sweetie."

I walked up the stairs carefully and slowly. I had to keep reminding myself of my injured foot to keep me from running. When I finally reached the top I pranced to my room and nearly bashed my head into the door. Edward opened it from the inside and broke my fall. I stifled a laugh as he wheeled me in and closed the door. "Bella what am I going to do with you?" I couldn't control the laughter now. I burst out laughing and after a few moments Edward started laughing too.

"What happened Bella?" he asked after we were done laughing.

"umm.. I dunno I guess I forgot about my foot again." I admitted blushing.

"You forgot?! Bella!"

"Whaaat? I was excited!" I protested. He laughed.

"You look tired. Maybe I should go.." he got up. I grabbed his arm and very nearly screamed. "Nnnnn" he covered my mouth with his hand. "ssshhhh! He heard that." He informed me, removing his hand from my mouth.

"Stay!" I demanded softly. He chuckled.

"Charlie is planning on checking on you.." he informed me. I sighed.

"Ok hang on." I got my PJs and headed to the bathroom, where I quickly showered and slowly headed downstairs to show my father that I was in my Pajamas, with wet hair and going to bed.

"Good night Dad."

"Night Bells." I slowly went back upstairs and closed my door behind me.

"What was that about?"

"Well if he was planning to check on me, then he thought I was going to sneak out with you. My own fault for going to bed so early I guess. It's only 9pm." I explained.

"Hmmm.. so he only worries about you sneaking out, he doesn't care if anyone sneaks in?"

"I guess not." I suddenly remembered the embarrassment I was put through with my father earlier. "Oh by the way.. thanks a lot for the heads up early. Couldn't you have warned me?" He laughed again.

"What and take away from Charlie's fun?"

"arrrghh!! Edward! Do you have any idea how embarrassing that was?" I threw my pillow at him. He caught it and laughed again.

"Bella, he's just being a responsible parent. He loves you."

"Yea I know but I mean seriously… some warning would have been nice!"

"Ok I'm sorry. Next time I will definitely warn you. Ok?"

"Fine."

He pulled me into his lap. "You have had a long day. Maybe you should get some sleep?"

"But I'm not tired!" I yawned.

"No, I know you're not. But just Humour me Bella." He lay me down next to him and covered me in my blanket before turning of the light.

"Good night my angel." I heard him say before I drifted into unconsciousness.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

I awoke when I heard the door opening. It shocked me. I nearly screamed when I saw Charlie's head poking through the door.

"Sorry hun! It's just me. You ok?"

"Yea dad I'm fine." I sighed. "what time is it?"

"12 o clock. Just thought I'd check on you, heard some noises and got worried." He lied. "Oh ok. No Dad, don't worry, I'm fine."

"Alright. You go back to bed then. Sorry I woke you, and scared you."

"No that's ok. Good night Dad."

"Night hun."

The door closed and two cold arms cradled me as Edward laughed quietly.

"Where did you hide?" I asked him as I kept his arm.

"Your closet." He admitted. I giggled softly.

"Are you sleepy?" he asked me.

"Not really… why what'd you have in mind?" he laughed.

"Nothing, I was just curious. Why..? what'd YOU have in mind?" he asked me

"hmmm… well would you like to introduce me to 'Tanya'?" I could feel the smile disappear from his face as his hands balled into fists around my waist.

"Bella, you want to meet her?"

"What she doesn't know that you have a new girlfriend?"

"No of course she does, but Bella I don't know if that would be a good…"

"Edward I want to meet her! Tell her to back off!" I demanded. He laughed then and his hands opened again.

"You sure? I mean I think Alice took care of that threat for you…"

"I'm sure.." I replied getting up and walking to my closet. "Do you mind?" I asked as I took out some clothes. "I can't go to the bathroom… Charlie will wake up."

He laughed and turned around without arguement.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked when I was done changing and trying desperately to get my haystack hair into a pony tail.

"I'm sure." I said pulling on my hairbrush.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"Alright. Hop on my back." He told me as I stared at him in disbelief.

"You've got to be kidding me!" He just looked at me, he looked serious.

"You're serious?"

"Yes. Bella come on, hop on!" I carefully got on his back. I wrapped my good foot around his waist and tried to hold my bad foot in place.

"Better hold on tight Spidermonkey!" he smiled and I wrapped my hands around his neck.

He jumped out of my window and landed on both feet, on the ground without even causing a thud. Then before I knew it he was running I watched as the trees flew past me in a blur.

"Oh my god!!"

"Relax, we're almost there."

"Almost there? We just left!!" my tone escalated.

"Relax Bella, you're safe."

Then he stopped and pulled me off his back gently and held me in front of him. We had reached his house. He put me down and kept my hand as we slowly walked- well I limped- to the front door.

"I love you." He whispered in my ear before opening the big white door.

"I love you too." I smiled at him as Alice ran at me again. Edward pulled me out of the way just before Alice could crash into me.
